Most currently available CWDM SFP modules operate over a temperature range from -10 to +70 °C. A combination of unique uncooled laser chip design and an optimized module design enables this significant advance in transceiver technology.
“Minimizing wavelength drift in the new family of CWDM transceivers was a significant challenge, and AOI’s combination of chip and module capabilities enabled this latest enhancement of our SFP product line,” comments Dr. Chau-Hong Kuo, AOI’s Product Manager for transceiver products. “The enhanced operating temperature range CWDM transceivers add to our industry-leading suite of robust, highly reliable products for demanding applications.”
Like many of AOI’s SFP products, the newly released modules offer:
• Hot pluggable SFP Multi-Source Agreement compliant
• Serial ID functionality support
• FC-PI 13.0 compliant
• Digital diagnostic SFF-8472 compliant
• Meets GR 468 reliability specifications
The new transceivers are offered at all wavelengths specified in the ITU-standard CWDM grid (G.694.2) from 1270-nm through 1610-nm.
The transceivers are shipping in volume.
